All Your Favs are Black and Bi. All of them.
He needs no introduction. Universally known, revered and praised, Malcolm X has frequently been championed as one of America’s greatest Civil Rights leaders. While often taught as an antithesis to MLK for his radical beliefs preaching violence against the oppressor, many know that he was so much more than his militant ideology. And that despite his seemingly harsh tactics that he helped inspire millions of revolutionaries around the world.
One thing hardly pressed upon about the Civil Rights crusader was his sexuality because to many it was an irrelevant non-issue. Because to most he was straight. But according to Manning Marable’s recent biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention the famous anti-racism advocate was not in fact straight but rather bisexual.
In his troubled adolescence Malcolm found ways to make money on the streets of Boston by selling drugs, pimping, robbing wealthy households and gambling. But on side he also picked up wealthy gay men at bars and serving them for a fee.
While poor straight boys acting as rent boys for a quick buck wasn’t uncommon, sources site that Malcolm was a little bit more involved than that. He often boasted loudly that he “serviced queers” and had several long sustained sexual relationships with men including an unknown white businessman and a transsexual known as Willie Mae. With such a vested interested in queer life and culture it’s hard to imagine that was anything but gay.
